Sunburn Relief

We’ve been discussing vet compounding for several weeks now—and there’s plenty more left to share!—but this week we’ll take an intermission from pets. Instead, I’ll focus on a topic that’s always in the back of my head (being a pale red-head): sunburns. With temperatures on the rise, many of us are spending more time outside: traveling, gardening, swimming, and so on. Unfortunately, UV rays from the sun are also increasing. If you enjoy the outdoors & haven’t been burned yet, chances are it’s coming (unless you’re like me and bathe in sunscreen). Fortunately, we have a great option for treating sunburns: prescription-strength burn treatment combined with aloe in a soothing gel. There’s nothing else like it over-the-counter, and may be a great option for those looking for some extra relief. We can also bill insurance for it, but it’s affordable even for self-pay! And the best part? You don’t need to see a doctor for it. Due to an agreement with a local physician, we can provide you with this burn cream directly from the pharmacy. No extra doctor visit needed. All you have to do is contact us or visit the pharmacy, and we’ll take care of you. As always, we're available in the lab Monday through Friday, 9am to 5pm. Or you can email me anytime at brandon.ladage@belewdrugs.com. We’d love to hear from you!

Until next time,

Brandon
